I defenitely prefer no spoiler.

Now, why is ford doing away with sonic blue? Im awaiting the 06 model (not just because, but due to the fact that I will be graduating college this spring, and then able to afford one...) and definitely prefer sonic blue to the other colors.

Because Sonic Blue has been around since mid 2002 model year. Ford changes the colors in 3-4 years so they don't get stale.

I'm in the same boat as you, I've decided to wait for a 2006, maybe a SE, but unless the replacement for Sonic Blue is as nice, I may be tempted to get a 2005.

I am leaning towards the Sonic Blue but I have yet to see one in person
The only colors I have seen are black, redfire, mineral gray and white. That's the order that I like the colors so far.

Now, if we can get paint chips on the 4 new colors that would be great!

NO spoiler!! It spoils the looks! There is not a more tacky,useless thing on a car than a spoiler. It's rare that a car would ever actually need one('00 cobra R).If it's useless,it shouldn't be on the car,thank god this new mustang(except for the fake gas cap) has exorcised some of the fake scoopery nonsense of the last one.
I just hope ford doesn't drop the spoiler delete option for '06,when i can buy my stang.

I'll have to side with the majority here and like the clean looks without the surf board. Nice Pics Rifleman.

Rifleman,
Are my eyes deceiving me? Are the rear quarter windows different, at least in the pics, between the Sonic Blue and Black Stang? The Dox Matrix and slope looks differerent also.....

They are the standard GT wheels, They are similiar to the "old" Bullitts but have a different offset to the outside.
